How do I increase forward growth while having elastics?

[SndzBP]

I’m 15, I got braces but today they gave me elastics. I have an already pretty non existent maxilla and I’ve heard elastics can recess it even more. How do I counter this? I need more forward growth.

Ask your orthodontist and tell him you only want aesthetics.

My orthodontist is a clinic thing and rotates between 9 people who barely speak English

As far as i think of, there shouldnt be any negatives from thumbpulling but i may be wrong

The only one I can think of is asymmetry but only if you don’t do it right.
